Back on track

What a difference 36 hours can make. Earlier this week and late last week I was frustrated and defeated. I didn't know what to do next and I was ready to come home. After talking to Claudio - el Jefe - I feel not only like I have something to do, but also slightly overwhelmed. Which is ok. I'd rather feel like I'm never going to get everything done than feel like I have nothing to do. So far on my list is to compare data from the Dengue outbreak this year to data from previous years, do hypothesis generating interviews, and learn how to enter data in EpiInfo (analysis software). On top of that there are some presentations that I may be doing in August, reporting the trends that I have found etc. AND Claudio said he was going to push the ethics committee to approve the case control study so that I could collect some data before I left. Sort of a pilot study. All of that and I really have maybe 3 1/2 weeks left of work time. Crazy.
